Work on Interstate 96 in both the Fowlerville and Brighton areas this week may cause slowdowns for motorists.

I-96 repairs from Fowlerville Road in Fowlerville and M-52 (Stockbridge Road) in Webberville are set to begin Friday and last until the end of June.

A single-lane of westbound I-96 will close to traffic from 9 p.m. Friday until 5 a.m. Saturday. The nighttime closures are expected to continue throughout next week, according to Kari Arend, MDOT spokeswoman.

Repairs this weekend will include "concrete pavement patching and ramp resurfacing at the I-96/M-52 interchange," according to MDOT's announcement.

In addition, four around-the-clock weekend lane closures are coming soon. The first is scheduled to start April 22, and it will affect westbound I-96 traffic. Arend said two weekends will focus on the westbound lanes of I-96 and two weekends will focus on the eastbound lanes.

"This is probably one of our biggest projects outside of the work at 96 and 23 for the Livingston/Ingham areas," Arend said.
